Resolved null-pointer exception in Expression Builder launch from activity rule
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
A NullPointerException occurred in SafeURL when trying to launch the Expression Builder from an activity rule. This was trasced to a failure to get a value property in a target field due to the target element and its parent element containing the same value for name attribute. This caused the parent element to be considered instead of the target element. To resolve this, the search for the target element in parent tag will use '$p' along with 'target element name' in query selector.

Improved temporary page clearing for UpdateAndDeleteAssignments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
When using the Change Stage shape in a flow to move it to the Complete stage, the expectation is that the status should be set to Resolved-Completed and all open assignments should be deleted. In some scenarios, the audit history showed the case moved to the Complete stage and the assignments deleted properly, but the case status was not set to Resolved-Completed. This was traced to the temporary page "pgWork_x" getting leaked from pzUpdateAndDeleteAssignments activity when a case is being processed to closure (via pzProcessResolutionStage > pxForceCaseClose path). When the same work object was reprocessed in the same thread and the findPageByHandle(WorkObjectID) function received this temporary page's reference, then the actual operation was not committed to the database. To resolve this, updates have been made to remove the precondition at step#15 of the pzUpdateAndDeleteAssignments activity to ensure the temporary page gets removed appropriately.

Survey Complex Question Definition properly displayed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Selecting any Complex Question to look at the definition displayed a blank screen. This was traced to an issue with the ruleformtabs properties for the layout group used by complex questions, and has been resolved by changing the Layout Group display type from "Default" to "Tab".

Improved Page compare for page groups
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Field level auditing on embedded properties sporadically did not report the "old" value when a property was modified even though the page was listed as "Modified". This has been resolved by adding logic to the pxComparePages algorithm to treat Lists and Groups differently. Now Page and Value Groups will use pxSubscript as the primary way to detect add and deletes.

Added logic to handle manual validate rule creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.6
Manually creating a Validate rule with conditions and then opening the configure view with conditions caused the validation rule to be removed from the flow action rule along with the validation conditions in the validation rule referred in flowAction rule. This has been resolved by updating the logic in the Condition Builder to handle this use case.

Database table correctly prevents deletion if there are descendant classes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When deleting a concrete class with descendant classes via an activity (Rule-.Delete), the Rule-Obj-Class.ValidateDeleteInternal activity was throwing an error message indicating the class could not be deleted due to descendant classes. However, the corresponding database table rule was deleted anyway. Investigation showed this was caused by ValidateDeleteInternal not reaching the Obj-Save-Cancel step. This can be fixed by modifying step 11, the post when conditions, to jump to END and set the END label at the Obj-Save-Cancel step instead Exit-Activity, but this issues has been resolved by updating all failure states to run end step. In addition, security has been updated to disallow "Allow invocation from browser".

Improved handling for heavy use of PushDailyUserData
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
The PushDailyUserData agent was causing utility node performance issues due to the amount of data it was fetching from pr_hourly table. To resolve this, an update has been made which will run the agent once per day and chunk large data.
